What I use

Welcome to this page of my constantly changing list of electronic devices, accessories and gear which I use on a regular basis.

I will try to keep this list as up to date as possible. This page with items is a good mix between the latest and greatest alpha geek stuff and rock solid items that survive the daily life of a modern nomad in the corporate jungle !

Computers & Laptops

For work I use the Dell Precision M4700 with an excellent 15.6″screen featuring a resolution 1920 x 1080. The 32 GB of RAM are perfect for crunching numbers in Microsoft Excel.

A Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is my home laptop, that I use for most of the home-work I do. A Waterfield Dash Sleeve keeps the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 very well protected.

I prefer the smaller form factor, while enjoying the inking capabilities like I did on my Lenovo X60 tablet 9 years ago.

Peripherals

Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is small and lightweight, but has a perfect curve and good support for my hands. When I’m working at home I prefer to use a Microsoft Touch Mouse, which use Bluetrack technology.

Ghisler Total Commander is an application I install on every Windows system. It is simply a Swiss army knife that features many helpful build-in tools. Process Explorer is my preferred Task Manager for Windows 10.

Microsoft OneDrive helps me to keep files, folders, favorites and e-mail signatures in sync across different computers. FileZilla is my preferred FTP client to connect with the websites I manage.

Home Technology

The Microsoft Xbox 360 S and Microsoft Kinect joined the living room about half a year ago. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but enjoy some relaxing playing games like Fabble III, Mass Effect, Halo Combat Evolved, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports – Season Two.

The Asus RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router is the heart of my home network. Excellent reach, great performance and loads of features and functionality. A Synology Disk Station DS207+ is my central device to store music, video and other important information. The Synology DS207+ is equipped with two 750GB Seagate Barracuda harddisks.

Photography and video

A Canon EOS 40D is my SLR Camera and is fitted with a Canon EF-S 18-200 mm/F3.5-5.6 IS lens.

I’m using Canon EOS M3 as my preferred point-to-shoot/system camera, and is fitted with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens on a Canon EF-EOS M Mount Adapter. So I can use the Canon EF-S lenses on the system camera from Canon.

Cycling related gear
